Bulk power supply in the electric-utility systems of North America will be adequate to meet projected summer peak demand and electric-energy requirements. The interconnected transmission networks have sufficient strength and flexibility to avoid widespread cascading interruptions and to deliver power and energy to generation-deficient areas should emergencies arise. Utilities are continuing their efforts to transfer energy fron non-oil areas to oil-dependent areas. These transfers continue to cause certain portions of the transmission system to be operated at or near maximum safe loading levels a high percentage of the time. 4 tables.
